Wow, where did you get the ‘force’ bit?

Let me give you an analogy.

Your neighbor has a small fire in his kitchen. He’s fresh out of buckets and water hoses. You however have those in abundance.

Do you wait, until the small fire becomes an inferno and consumes his house, endangering your own before you offer to help him? Or do you say something like ‘well, too bad you can’t afford a water bucket, not my fault!’ and then wonder, as the massive showers of sparks and embers from his now out of control fire begin raining down on your own home if your water bucket and water hose will be enough to save your OWN house?

For legal purposes, if it is untested for the disease you are wanting to use it against, the lawyers will eat you alive.

And the bucket analogy is an attempt to work on emotions. There are many diseases in Africa which run rampant because of the cultural mores of most tribal societies. You can throw “water” at it all you want, but if your neighbor keeps lighting torches and throwing them back on the house, you are fighting a losing battle.

As for the Americans who got the different untested drugs in America, they had to give waivers to not sue the company. We are already sending hundreds of CD people, gear and equipment to those countries to help in this situation, we are not withholding buckets and hoses.
